You cannot and should not do this. If your source element is specific
to a single format, then it's not an http source - so you shouldn't
pretend it is. Presumably instead it's some sort of
combined-http-source-and-avi-demuxer. Instead, you should fix things
up - e.g. use a normal http source, and fix whatever problem you have
with avidemux.
